Aprés l'Eglise

 This sweet boy's sister was christened during the church service at l'EgliseVal- de- Grâce. I visited this beautiful church that Sunday and watched afterwards as the family gathered on the steps and allowed the big brother a chance to play.

I will presenting a phototalk on STREET PHOTOGRAPHY for the Shades Vallely Camera Club this coming Thursday, January 17 at 6:30 PM at the Vestavia Hills Library. The club graciously opens their meetings for visitors. I hope to see many of my Birmingham readers and fellow photographers there!

Lovely view from Jardin du Luxembourg.

Mon préféré

Saint-Étienne-du-mont, one of my favorite churches in Paris.

Neige encore à Paris!

This was taken years ago at the American Cathedral in Paris. Today as Paris is still dealing with flooding along the Seine, they are getting another snowfall. I am so jealous!

Sunday Church Series

Just last Sunday, hard to believe it's been only a week,  I worshipped at the majestic  American Cathedral in Paris. This was my third service, and I always look forward to worshipping in this glorious cathedral. Two young members of the congregation read Scripture flawlessly, Dean Lucinda Laird gave a thought provoking message, and the choir sang a favorite of mine, "King of Love My Shepherd Is." After the service, visitors are invited the back of the sanctuary for coffee and warm greetings from staff and members. If you have not attended or visited, I urge you to do so on your next trip to Paris.

Sunday Church Series - Look Up

The vaulted ceiling of Église Saint-Étienne du-Mont. Completed in 1624, it holds the shrine of Sainte Geneviève. Although her remains were burned and thrown in the Seine during the French Revolution, the slab that her remains had rested upon is now enshrined  in gold lattice. Located next to the Panthéon, it is a must see.

Sunday Church Series - Église Val-de-Grâce

The summer of 2009, our apartment overlooked the back of the beautiful Val-de-Grâce church. I walked over for services twice and was able to enjoy lovely services there.

Sunday Church Series - Les bougies

The Église Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis  ( 1621) in the Marais. I"ve lost count on how many times I've walked into this sweet church. It's not the largest or the grandest church in Paris, but well worth a visit.

Avant et après V

15 novembre the sun came out again in Paris, in many ways. As we headed to rue Mouffetard to watch the locals dance I stopped as we reached the Église Saint-Médard's little playground. I'm guessing this spunky jeune fille was showing either her brother or a friend how to climb a tree! As we turned the corner, Mouffetard and the surrounding area's cafés were bustling with Parisians anxious to resume life in Paris. Vive la France!

One of my favorite photos I took after church services at the American Cathedral in Paris. I have loved attending services here on several trips. This church is beautiful and they are so welcoming.
